There are so many things to keep track of for people who are honestly concerned
about their health and well being. We have to think about the things we are
eating, the portions we are eating, how much and what kind of exercise we are
getting, and how well we are sleeping. There is so much to keep track of lately
that I honestly had never given my skin care regimen much thought until I
recently met with my dermatologist and closest friend. He suggested that the
single most important key to better health for me was making the switch to a
natural skin care system.
As soon as he said 'natural skin care' I'll admit that I was preparing myself to
hear something really hippy and wacky from my friend. I thought that he was
going to give me some special seeds that would eventually grow into special
plants that I could then rub all over my face and that would be my natural skin
care method. I was wrong. My friend and I began discussing the wisdom of taking
the time to put healthy and natural products into our bodies but then not taking
the time to care about the products we were using on the outside of our bodies.
I had never thought much about the skin care products I was using on my skin,
but I guarantee you that I never once thought to make the change to natural skin
care products of any kind. I only thought about the immediate and visible
affects of a product on my skin, I never took time to care about the affects
that I wasn't seeing or about the long term affects of a skin care system on my
skin.
Meeting with my dermatologist that day changed how I'd forever view my skin. He
said to think about the ingredient list on the container of any product as a
prescription. He said that I was putting all of those products on my body and
that many of them were soaking in well beneath my skin. I should be just as
concerned with what I am putting on my body as I am with what I'm putting in my
body. So he and I came up with a great natural skin care system to use.
I've been using all natural skin care products on my skin for the past few
months now. And while I honestly cannot tell that much difference in the way my
skin looks, I am confident that I am doing the inside of my body a huge favor
every time I choose natural skin care over other options.
